Gingered Carrots

INGREDIENTS

2 cup carrots, cut into 1/4-inch-thick julienne strips
1/4 cup water
1 cinnamon stick
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons Smart Balance
1/2 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

DIRECTIONS

In a small saucepan, combine the carrots, water, cinnamon stick, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes or until the carrots are crisp-tender. Drain the carrots and discard the cinnamon stick.

Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl. In the saucepan, heat together the brown sugar, Smart Balance, parsley, and ginger until the margarine and brown sugar are melted. Drizzle the mixture over the carrots and gently toss until coated.
